Freestone ECO Retaining Wall Blocks: Sustainable, Stylish & DIY-Friendly
Looking for a smart, stylish and sustainable DIY solution for your retaining wall? Freestone ECO Retaining Wall Blocks from Island Block & Paving are not just blocks – they’re a modern revolution in landscaping. Whether you’re drafting a garden upgrade, planning a residential or commercial retaining system or simply improving your street appeal, here’s why Freestone ECO retaining wall system is a top choice.
1. Sustainability At Its Core
Manufactured with up to 37.6% recycled glass aggregates – Freestone ECO blocks offer an eco-friendly alternative that reduces the demand for mined sand and cement. Certified Carbon Neutral by Global GreenTag, meaning the manufacturing process is rigorously audited and verified to be net‑zero in emissions. Our Freestone ECO Retaining Wall system also achieved Level A Global GreenTag certification and backed by a full Environmental Product Declaration.
2. Effortless DIY Installation
Freestone ECO Retaining Wall Blocks are designed for ease of installation and strength. With no need for concrete footings, the blocks can be simply laid on compacted gravel or sand. Their self-locating design makes stacking quick and accurate. The system offers versatile build options, including gravity walls, no-fines concrete infill, or fully reinforced cores. This means Freestone ECO blocks can suit various wall heights and soil conditions. The large hollow cores also allow for reinforcing rods and concrete fill, providing additional stability for taller or more structural retaining walls. We have a full installation video for the Freestone ECO Retaining Wall that can be viewed here.
